Someanon on /tg/ told me to come here to discuss King of Dragon Pass. Because most of the game is spent giving direction, but not directly influencing such areas as combat and economy, is it a grand strategy game?

Have you no appreciation of aesthetics?

How small can a game become before it's not a grand strategy game anymore? Like, if you consider a tribal game like King of Dragon Pass to be grand strategy, could a game about indirectly controlling a family through several generations be considered grand strategy?

>>153540201
really makes you think

>>153540201
truly forces one to ponder

>>153540201
If that family controls land and has an army, sure.

>>153539909
If it's a patchwork mess with each single country having massive gaps between counties (e.g. post-collapse HRE), sure, that's both ugly and illogical.
But sometimes autistic people go EWW BORDER GORE just because a kingdom has anyterritory it didn't have historically.

>>153541493
Well, blobbing is a sin of its own.

>>153542061
What's the point of playing a grand strategy video game if you're going to stick to historical borders? These games exist explicitly so you can go off the rails. You don't have to blob and take over a continent, but you could do something funky yet plausible like Danish England.

>>153542534
that's not really blobbing tho

>>153542534
>You don't have to blob and take over a continent, but you could do something funky yet plausible like Danish England.

if goods that cannot be afforded to be bought are produced, that means the supply is producing goods that are not bought, meaning there is a misallocation of resources.

say I start producing zeppelins in 2016. no one can afford them, nor is there are any real interest in buying them. obviously im wasting money and resources on producing goods for which there is no demand.
if the workers producing zeppelins cannot buy them, it is not a reason to start a communist revolution, but it is a good reason to consider stopping the making of zeppelins and reallocate the resources (money, materials, labour) to something where they make something that is in demand.

that being said V2 is a 19th century economic simulation model, and every model in itself is flawed.

It was though, in the 18th century Prussia was famous for having a ridiculous army compared to its rather backwater postition.

Friedrich Wilhelm I, father for Frederick the Great, was known for actually assembling a guard of men over a certain height called the Potsdam Giants.

I've been away for awhile /gsg/, is the Memer's Due worth getting for CK2? How broken is it? Is it just another "le let's make more roadblocks for the player so blobbing is hard!"?

>>153561127
It's worth getting and significantly less broken than most CK2 DLC is at the first patch. Some people think that the minor epidemics are too much, but you can turn frequency down in the new game menu that the patch added, and I actually think they're fine, they remind me of the first CK game. It does make the game slightly harder, but it's not stupid roadblocks like that "let's copy shitty mechanics from EU4" update.

>>153561410
Cool, the game options honestly entices me more for it than any of the actual expansion content. I'll have to pick it up when HIP updates.

>>153561498
The game options are in the free patch anyway.

thankfully I have one. I guess I'll try to speed things up.

>>153561952
It's not like all the provinces change religion when you conquer it in a GHW, either. The war is against the heretic ruler to install a ruler of your own religion in the targeted land. It's pretty simple, you got your war goal.

>>153561621
No, because every pagan can do that if threatened by a holy war

You have flags for titles in CK2 and flags for your dynasty.
The flag of your dynasty is all fucked up.
E.g. House Capet should have the same house sigil as the French flag. Instead they have ... shells.

>>153565696
It honestly feels like playing single player, except all players involved can pause; the player that paused has unpause priority for like a minute. If player A tries to interact with player B, e.g. offer an alliance, player B gets a little event popup.

It works fairly well, though it might go a little slower than what you're used to.

>>153565952
Are you playing Vanilla?

I'm playing 2.5.2 with HIP and torrented DLC and IIRC all dynasty's flags are correct (or at least unique)

Well, the post contains a comma splice, but that is an incredibly common error, typical of informal speech. So typical that I wouldn't really describe it as "illiteracy," but there you go.

Strictly, in formal writing, two independent clauses need to be either linked with a conjunction, or separated by a stronger punctuation mark than a comma.
